THE FORMATION OF THE SYSTEM FOR MANAGING ETHNOPOLITICAL PROCESSES IN THE CONTEXT OF THE NATIONALISTIC RADICALISM SHOWINGS IN THE VLADIMIR REGION

Abstract

The article considers three stages of the formation of a regional system of ethnopolitical management by the example of the Vladimir region. It indicates that the process proceeded in three stages and was accompanied by the sequential formation and reform of structures of the executive power and local self-government. It is noted that each passed stage was characterized by the predominant use of a particular management method: the situational, system-integrated or program-oriented. The author emphasizes that there is a direct connection between the nature of the ethnopolitical situation in the region and the methods of controlling the ethnopolitical processes. She proves that it is a system-integrated approach to the regulation of ethno-political processes that allowed to push out nationalist forces from the region, get out of the period of lasting stabilization in the sphere of interethnic relations. The issue of the influence of “protective nationalism” on the ethnopolitical situation in the Vladimir region is examined and an assessment is made of the consequences of applying that ideology to the state of interethnic relations in the region. The structure and main elements of the system of management of interethnic relations in the Vladimir region are described. The conclusion is made about the functioning in the region of a three-tier management vertical (federal center-region-municipalities) and of an effective system for implementing the state national policy.
